Today is probably the biggest day of Pan-Arab protest yet. There are protests in:
LIBYA: The battle moves to Tripoli, where Gaddafi forces opened fire on protesters, the AFP reports. The Colonel is reportedly hiding in an underground bunker outside the city, according to Russia Today.
EGYPT: CNN says that thousands fill Tahrir Square. The protesters demand the end of emergency law, release of political prisoners and civilian representation in the government.
IRAQ: VOA News reports that at least five were killed in nationwide protests for better public services and less corruption.
TUNISIA: Military helicopters circle Tunis as thousands turn out in another Day Of Rage, Reuters reports. Protesters support the ouster of Qaddafi and further old regime figures from their government.
BAHRAIN: AFP says thousands are gathering for the 12th day of anti-government protest and the biggest yet.
YEMEN: Thousands protesting here as well, CNN reports.
New York Times reporter Nick Kristof tweeted: “Maybe I should start over and list places NOT having demonstrations today. Hmm. Antarctica?”
